What Is Coaching?

Coaching for me is an art; a dance between two people, a conversation which challenges and swirls both with visions and practicalities, but which above all communicates with the wisest parts of the soul, encouraging great choices and positive action.

– George Metcalfe

Coaching is a very personal experience and one that is often difficult to explain unless experienced firsthand. It’s rarely something anyone feels they “need,” but once a client becomes fully engaged and realizes the benefits and value afforded by the process, most wonder how they lived without it!

One of the primary benefits of coaching is an expanded sense of “freedom” and openness, which evolves from the atmosphere of honesty and trust that is present throughout the coaching process. It is this experience of trust that plays a key role in each of Michael’s coaching relationships. Most clients report having rarely felt so empowered by the freedom to share so openly nor expecting that they would be so open to critical (yet loving) feedback.

Prospective clients should be clear that working with Michael involves more than simply creating action plans, completing homework, or being held accountable (although Michael does employ this very process in many cases). His coaching is more about exploring the truth about what is underneath one’s resistance, hesitancy, concerns, or fears, which stand between the client and their outcomes.

With the intent to enable each client to attain a state of “Supreme Certainty,” Michael connects fully and respectfully with each and every individual he coaches at the level of “the Self”—digging in deep to explore what it is that drives them or what may be in the way of them achieving this state on a consistent basis.

Coaching is about discovering or re-discovering one’s authentic “Self,” which enables that person to not only access their full passion, it inspires them to move from “good” to “great.” It is not for those who feel they need to be “fixed,” but for those who want it all yet have either been unable to breakthrough or simply want to move more rapidly toward their goals.

It is for those that are willing to discover what may very likely be the key to achieving their dreams!

If you are having challenges with relationships, confidence, self-esteem, overcoming past failures (or similarly negative feelings) or you simply want to breakthrough any limiting beliefs that may be standing between you and your outcomes, then coaching with Michael may be right for you!

For those who are clear about what you want to achieve but may be unsure as to how coaching would support you in this regard, Michael offers a free, no-obligation evaluation phone call to support you in determining if coaching is right for you. To arrange your 15 to 20 minute call, please email your request to: trialcall@intentionquest.com

Note: Trial calls are scheduled following the submission of a brief summary of your outcomes and are subject to Michael’s availability.

Statement of Intent and Disclaimer: Life Coaching should in no way be construed as therapy or psychoanalysis, as the intent is to simply engage in an open and honest conversation about what is preventing the client from achieving their desired outcomes. Coaching is about breaking free of limiting beliefs and socially-conditioned “habits.” It is about exploring new and powerful “ways of being,” as opposed to psycho-analyzing, diagnosing, or otherwise exploring past “issues.” Although the past may be discussed at times, Coaching is about creating empowering resolutions to everyday challenges, which arise in the face of living in an otherwise normal and healthy environment and establishing effective action plans in support of establishing and accomplishing those outcomes. If you feel that you are in need of resolving deep-seated issues or feel you may be suffering from depression, you are advised to seek the counsel of a licensed therapist or mental health professional. Also, although it is Michael’s intent to fully honor the confidentiality of what is shared during all coaching conversations, he cannot guarantee any such confidentiality.
